Greek power storage applications

4 FAQs about Greek power storage applications

Should Greece invest in energy storage facilities?

Currently there is a growing interest for investments in storage facilities in Greece. Licensed projects mostly consist of Li-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS), either stand-alone or integrated in PVs, as well as PHS facilities .

How long should energy storage be in a Greek power system?

Considering the energy arbitrage and flexibility needs of the Greek power system, a mix of short (~2 MWh/MW) and longer (>6 MWh/MW) duration storages has been identified as optimal. In the short run, storage is primarily needed for balancing services and to a smaller degree for limited energy arbitrage.

How many storage plants are there in Greece?

Currently there are four (4) storage plants operating in Greece, two open-loop pumped-hydro storage (PHS) stations in the mainland (700 ΜW in total) and two small hybrid RES-storage stations in non-interconnected islands (just 3 MW).

What is the res penetration target for the power system of Greece?

The power system of Greece is used as a case study, adopting a RES penetration target of around 60%, as foreseen in the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) for 2030, . The generation portfolio of the Greek system in the mid-term horizon to 2030 is well-defined in the NECP, with storage being the main asset yet to be identified.
